Mr. Beridon received your requests for information and returned data which you have compiled in an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (see document template). He also said We grow sod and trees at Jeemp Farms. We sell the sod mainly to home builders in the area although we sell to some individuals who are purchasing square footages to re-sod their yard. Many home builders will purchase to sod an entire subdivision. They then may come back to us to purchase trees for the yards. It really is a package deal. For builders like that we are a one-stop-shop. In most cases however we sell the trees to orchards and some individuals. The purchaser is responsible for all shipping costs related to their product.
Our production process is different for each product. For sod we plant the seed irrigate cut and roll the sod and then transport it. For the trees we plant the root stock graft the tree water until a particular maturity and then dig it up and sell it. We inspect the plants as needed to make sure we are producing a quality product that is disease-free.
We have delayed purchasing some machinery that reduces time for the planting of the trees because it is a large up-front cost and we don’t want to have a huge outlay of cash if our profits keep going down.
The grass does not require as much irrigation as the trees as it is at a lower elevation than the tree acres and is closer to the creek; it gets a lot of the run off.
Historically we have always been able to sell everything we produce. Hopefully that will continue since Houston is expanding rapidly.
Compute the product costs for the sod and trees under traditional and ABC costing using the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
